6.1.1 Finger cuff selection
There are 3 different finger cuff sizes (see Table 6.1 Finger cuff
selection): small (S), medium (M) and large (L). Every size has its own
color. The finger cuff should be applied to the middle phalanx of a
finger. We have had best experience with the middle or ring finger, but
the index finger can be used equally well in most cases.
The preformed conical finger cuff is not designed for application to the
thumb. You may only apply the finger cuff to the thumb when it is
impossible to measure finger arterial pressure on any finger.
Select the proper finger cuff size by using the table below. When in
doubt, use the smaller size finger cuff.
